Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de las Americas over the next 16 days.
Right folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Playa de las Americas.
Overall, we've got a run of small, clean, fun waves kicking off this Saturday and carrying through the first part of the week. Nothing huge, but the conditions are looking sweet for a longboard or a fish. The water is sitting at 72.1°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout is the morning of Saturday, July 11th. The wave energy is moderate (378), with a 2ft SSW swell ticking over at a long 20 seconds. That's proper groundswell. The wind is glassy from the south at 3 mph, so it's going to be silky smooth. This is a beach and reef setup, so that long period might make it a bit wonky and straight on the beach, but the reef could focus it up nicely. It's an advanced wave, and it's consistent, but with crowds being "often", you'll have some company. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are also looking very clean with glassy conditions and cross-off winds, but the swell period is dropping a little each day. The energy is still moderate (459 on Sunday morning, 287 on Monday morning), so it's still worth a paddle.
After Tuesday the 14th, the swell starts to fade. We get a few more days of small, surfable but ordinary waves through to the end of the following week, with the swell dropping below 2ft and the energy falling off a cliff. By Thursday the 16th, we're into poor surf territory with tiny waves. There's a little blip of energy on the 18th (120) but the swell is still small, making it a marginal session at best.
The rest of the forecast window into the 26th is mostly flat or too small to bother with. The wind stays light, which is nice, but there's just no push to the waves. It's a quiet end to the outlook.
So, make the most of this weekend. Saturday morning is the pick of the litter.
